It's been a year. I am aware it's not even mid-July but it's been a year. It's a year since Superman's slowly fatal head injury. Six months was fucking insanity. At times, hilarious, but mostly awful. Then the next six months of getting stuff sold, bought, organised. It's also been a year since the home … Continue reading Somebody pour me a drink

Something is coming …
Something is coming out of Upper Hutt. Not loud. Not flashy. Not announced with confetti and balloons. Something quieter than that. And far more dangerous. Politics kills. Secrets kill faster. And in this town, both have a habit of getting personal. I didn’t set out to write a political thriller. I set out to tell … Continue reading Something is coming …

It’s not … Continue reading Authorial Doom Spiral

It's second nature to most of us because we were conditioned to clean our teeth every day.I was thinking today about the frailty of … Continue reading The things we do.

You wouldn't think it was difficult to come up with a blog post title, would you? Well, let me tell ya - for me it's harder than naming a book. I see the 'add title' words sitting there and it annoys me. And some days I just don't have a title in me. Not a … Continue reading Add title …

You wouldn’t believe it …
Life has been crazy, you know that if you've been here longer than five minutes, with all the crazy I fudged an ISBN. I put it into D2D and it's already been used. It's mine so, I guess I put the wrong name next to it in the file! It's easy to do. I get … Continue reading You wouldn’t believe it …
It’s all coming together now:
The stress and craziness that's been my life from July 7th - is almost over. By the end of this month I will be able to relax and breathe. Superman would be able to as well, if he knew where he was and what had to happen to keep him safe. He doesn't. He never … Continue reading It’s all coming together now:
Beady eyed Wombat.
If you've read 'Underneath the Tree' you might recognise the title of this blog as something someone said in the story.But you probably do not know where that comes from. Listen up, it came from an afternoon with the posse. One member was livid over something that had happened and amongst her choice words was … Continue reading Beady eyed Wombat.
